Part II  Reading Comprehension  (20 marks)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Mark one letter A, B, C or D on your Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror — the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.
According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere will be 3°C warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present state. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere, possibly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food-growing zones.
In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and "cold" spots (that is, the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates, every 27.5 days, it presents "hotter" or "colder" faces to the earth, and different aspects to different parts of the earth. This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation. The sun is also variable over a long term: its heat output goes up and down in cycles, the latest trend being downward.
Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar-weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years, including the last Ice Age. The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not. One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia of the earth's climate. If this is right, the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-balance to the sun's diminishing heat.
31. It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would ________.
A) prevent the sun's rays from leeching the earth's surface
B) mean a warming up in the Arctic
C) account for great changes in the climate in the northern hemisphere
D) raise the temperature of the earth's surface
32. The article was written to explain ________.
A) the greenhouse effect
B) the solar effects on the earth
C) the models of solar-weather interactions
D) the causes affecting weather
33. Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere, temperatures there seem to be falling. This is ________.
A) mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising
B) possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
C) exclusively due to the effect of the inertia of the earth's climate
D) partly due to variations in the output of solar energy
34. On the basis of their models, scientists are of the opinion that ________.
A) the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
B) it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect
C) the man-made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects
D) the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
35. If the assumption about the delay of a new Ice Age is correct, ________.
A) the best way to overcome the cooling effect would be to burn more fuels
B) ice would soon cover the northern hemisphere
C) the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could warm up the earth even more quickly
D) the greenhouse effect could work to the advantage of the earth
Passage Two
Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Cars account for half the oil consumed in the U.S., about half the urban pollution and one fourth the greenhouse gases. They take a similar toll of resources in other industrial nations and in the cities of the developing world. As vehicle use continues to increase in the coming decade, the U.S. and other countries will have to deal with these issues or else face unacceptable economic, health-related and political costs. It is unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current low level or that other nations will accept a large and growing U.S. contribution to global climatic change.
Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use, increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, switch to less harmful fuels, or find less polluting driving systems. The last of these — in particular the introduction of vehicles powered by electricity — is ultimately the only sustainable option. The other alternatives are attractive in theory but in practice are either impractical or offer only marginal improvements. For example, reduced vehicle use could solve traffic problems and a host of social and environmental problems, but evidence from around the world suggests that it is very difficult to make people give up their cars to any significant extent. In the U.S., mass-transit rider ship and carpooling have declined since World War II. Even in western Europe, with fuel prices averaging more than 1 a liter (about 4 a gallon) and with easily accessible mass transit and dense populations, cars still account for 80 percent of all passenger travel.
Improved energy efficiency is also appealing, but automotive fuel economy has barely made any progress in 10 years. Alternative fuels such as natural gas, burned in internal-combustion engines, could be introduced at relatively low cost, but they would lead to only marginal reductions in pollution and greenhouse emissions (especially because oil companies are already spending billions of dollars every year to develop less polluting types of gasoline).
36. From the passage we know that the increased use of cars will ________.
A) consume half of the oil produced in the world
B) have serious consequences for the well-being of all nations
C) widen the gap between the developed and developing countries
D) impose an intolerable economic burden on residents of large cities
37. The U.S. has to deal with the problems arising from vehicle use because ________.
A) most Americans are reluctant to switch to public transportation systems
B) the present level of oil prices is considered acceptable
C) other countries will protest its increasing greenhouse emissions
D) it should take a lead in conserving natural resources
38. Which of the following is the best solution to the problems mentioned in the passage?
A) The designing of highly efficient car engines.
B) A reduction of vehicle use in cities.
C) The development of electric cars.
D) The use of less polluting fuels.
39. Which of the following is practical but only makes a marginal contribution to solving the problem of greenhouse emissions?
A) The use of fuels other than gasoline.
B) Improved energy efficiency.
C) The introduction of less polluting driving systems.
D) Reducing car use by carpooling.
40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A) The decline of public transportation accounts for increased car use in Western Europe.
B) Cars are popular in Western Europe because the fuel prices are fairly high.
C) The reduction of vehicle use is the only sustainable option in densely populated western Europe.
D) Western European oil companies cannot sustain the cost of developing new-type fuels.
Passage Three
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called "rem". Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage—a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.
41. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ________.
A) it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D) it screens off the falling meteors
42. We know from the passage that ________.
A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D) astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage
43. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ________.
A) is insignificant   B) seems overestimated   C) is enormous   D) remains unknown
44. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A) the Apollo mission was very successful
B) protection from space radiation is no easy job
C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
45. The best title for this passage would be ________.
A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment
B) Research on Radiation
C) Effects of Space Radiation
D) Importance of Protection Against Radiation
Passage Four
Question 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
The time has arrived for a fundamental re-thinking of the strategy for co-operation between rich and poor, with the avowed aim of helping the poorest of the poor back on to their own feet to join the race for human betterment. Four steps could change the shape of our global community.
First, rich and poor need to talk together. As a start, the world's democracies, rich and poor, should join in a quest for common action. Once again the rich G8 met in 1999 without the presence of the developing world. This rich-country summit should be the last of its kind. A G16 for the new millennium should include old and new democracies such as Brazil, India, South Korea, Nigeria, Poland and South Africa.
Second, rich and poor countries should direct their urgent attention to the mobilization of science and technology for poor-country problems. The rich countries should understand the IMF and the World Bank are by themselves not equipped for that challenge. The specialized UN agencies have a great role to play, especially if they also act as a bridge between the activities of advanced-country and developing-country scientific centers. They will be able to play that role, however, only after the United States pays its debts to the UN and ends its unthinking hostility to the UN system. We will also need new and creative institutional alliances. A Millennium Vaccine Fund, which guaranteed future markets for malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS vaccines, would be the right place to start. The vaccine-fund approach is administratively straightforward, desperately needed and within our technological reach. Similar efforts to merge public and private science activities will be need in agricultural biotechnology.
Third, just as knowledge is becoming the undisputed centerpiece of global prosperity, the global regime on intellectual property rights requires a new look. The United States prevailed upon the world to toughen patent codes and cut down on intellectual piracy. But now transnational corporations and rich-country institutions are patenting everything from the human genome to rainforest biodiversity. The poor will be ripped off unless some sense and equity are introduced into this runaway process. Moreover, the system of intellectual property rights must balance the need to provide incentives for innovation against the need of poor countries to get the results of innovation. The current struggle over AIDS medicines in South Africa is but an early warning shot in a much larger struggle over access to the fruits of human knowledge. The issue of setting global rules for the uses and development of new technologies---especially the controversial biotechnologies---will again require global co-operation, not the strong-arming of the few rich countries.
Fourth, and perhaps toughest of all, we need a serious discussion about long-term finance for the international public goods. The rich countries are willing to talk about every aspect except money: money to develop new malaria, tuberculosis and AIDS vaccines; money to spur biotechnology research in food-scarce regions; money to help tropical countries adjust to climate changes imposed on them by the richer countries. The World Bank makes mostly loans, and loans to individual countries at that. It does not finance global public goods.
We will need in the end, to put real resources in support of our hopes. A global tax on carbon-emitting fossil fuels might be the way to begin. Even a very small tax, less than that which is needed to correct humanity's climate-deforming overuse of fossil fuels would finance a greatly enhanced supply of global public goods. No better time to start than as the new millennium begins.
46. According to the author, the 1999 G8 summit ________.
A. ignored the need of the developing countries for growth
B. should have discussed issues that interested the poor
C. was the last meeting without the presence of developing countries
D. should have invited developing countries to participate
47. It is implied in the third paragraph that UN agencies are not able to play a more active role in helping the poor countries because ________.
A. the IMF and the World Bank have not provided enough financial support to them
B. the United States does not give due support to the United Nations
C. the Millennium Vaccine Fund does not collect enough money from public and private agencies
D. these agencies have made no efforts to merge public and private activities and act as a bridge between them
48. The lack of AIDS medicines in South Africa is mentioned to demonstrate ________.
A. the danger of AIDS spreading worldwide if not controlled by coordinated efforts
B. the failure of poor countries to share the achievements made in science
C. the injustice done to the poor countries by their former colonists
D. the consequences resulting from people's lack of scientific knowledge
49. Which of the following constitutes the greatest challenge in bettering our global community?
A. Transferring new patents to the countries in need.
B. Establishing UN agencies to take care of the poor countries.
C. Recruiting enough money for global public benefits.
D. Setting up a proper channel for dialogue between the rich and the poor.
50. In the text "the new millennium" refers to ________.
A. the thousand years beginning from 2000
B. the cooperation between rich and poor countries

Academic dishonesty is an _51_ against the university. A student who has committed an act of academic dishonesty has failed to meet a basic requirement of satisfactory academic performance. Thus academic dishonesty is not only a basis for disciplinary action, but also _52_ to the evaluation of the student's level of performance.
The faculty and administration recognize the necessity of _53_ an academic environment in which each student is evaluated on the basis of his own performance. The maintenance of such an environment requires that both faculty and students be aware of the _54_ and consequences of academic dishonesty.
Each instructor should familiarize himself with the procedures _55_ preparation and supervision of examinations in his department and the guidelines relating to procedures for handling _56_ of academic dishonest. Early each term, the instructor should inform the class of any expectations _57_ to the course.
In _58_ the grade to be awarded to a student, the instructor may take into account academic dishonesty _59_ the student. When there has been academic dishonesty, the instructor may award a failing grade in the assignment or a failing grade in the course. The instructor may also require the student to perform additional assignments. Before assigning a grade affected by academic dishonesty, the instructor must make a reasonable effort to discuss the matter with the student. When a grade is affected by academic dishonesty, the instructor must _60_ in writing both the student and the person in charge of the department.

Part IV  Summary Writing  (10 marks)
Directions: Write a summary based on the following article. Write on the Answer Sheet.
A patent is an exclusive right to use an invention for a certain period of time, which is given to an inventor as compensation for disclosure of an invention. Although it would be beneficial for the world economy to have uniform patent laws, each country has its own laws designed to protect domestic inventions and safeguard technology. Despite widespread variation, patent laws generally fall under one of two principles: the first-to-file and first-to-invent. The first-to-file principle awards a patent to the person or institution that applies for a patent first, while the first-to-invent principle grants the patent to the person or institution that was first to invent — and can prove it. Most countries have adopted the first-to-file system. However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent system, despite obvious shortcomings. A result of countries employing different patent law principles is inconsistency of patent ownership.
Ownership is not recognized globally. On the contrary, ownership may change depending on the country. It is not uncommon for an invention to have two patent owners — one in the United States and one in the rest of the world. This unclear ownership often has economic consequences. If a company is interested in using a patented invention, it may be unable to receive permission from both patent owners, which in turn may prevent manufacture of a particular product. Even if permission is received from both owners, pay royalties to both may be quite costly. In this case, if the invention is useful enough, a company may proceed and pass on the added cost to consumers. International economic tension has also been increasing as a result of differing policies. Many foreign individuals and companies believe that they are at a serious disadvantage in the United States with regard to patent ownership because of the logistical difficulties in establishing first-to-invent status. Further, failure of the United States to recognize patent ownership in other countries is in violation of the Paris conventions on Industrial Properties, which requires all member nations to treat all patents equally.
The conflict surrounding patents has prompted the World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to lobby for universality in patent laws. WIPO maintains that the first necessary step involves compelling the United States to reexamine its patent principle, taking into account the reality of a global economy. This push may indeed result in more global economic cooperation.
Part V  Translation  (15 marks)
Directions: Read the article and translate the underlined sentences (T1-T5) into Chinese. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.
Each moment of each day sees the death of some living thing. We know that each plant and animal, by natural tendency, produces far more seeds and eggs, and seedlings and young, than is necessary to maintain its population. This occurs because each species has an insecure hold on life. Moreover, death is necessary for the survival of life, and the death rate must just about equal the birth rate. If all the seeds and eggs created through the life processes survived and grew to adulthood, there could be no life able to continue through this overcrowding.
T1) A pair of American robins nest in one backyard raising two broods of four each. Ten robins where there were two. These pair up and return equally successful nestlings each year. No matter how much one likes robins, over 90 million birds in one yard at the end of the tenth year would be too much. And there would not be enough worms to feed them!
Nature allows a seeming excess because the difficulties of life restrict survival of both young and old, and the result of this delicate balance is that populations rise and fall in small numbers; only rarely do they rise to disastrous millions or fall to complete zero. T2) Both plants and animals may reach ages where they are no longer able to reproduce, but usually before old age is reached sickness, storm, and slowed reactions to danger will have eliminated many individuals. Even a few strong and mature individuals die from disease or under the attacks of a predator.
Life is the moving, ever-aggressive force. When any form of life dies, certain life processes take over and act out the saying "Waste not, want not." Every atom and molecule of a living plant or animal was molded by life into a form that is a certain species of life. Those very elements and compounds are needed to continue life, and nature is fairly efficient in recycling them.
The controlling factor of life is really "supply and demand." T3) A grass eating animal cannot exist without grass, a predator without prey, a plant without certain basic chemicals or certain kinds of soil. When prey species are rare, the population of predators declines; and when plants lack certain soil, chemical and weather conditions, they decline. T4) Theoretically we would need only to replace those few chemicals filtered out of the soils by water and winds if each of our farm crops were plowed back under the ground, but then we wouldn't have any life-sustaining crops to eat. To raise our crops we need to fertilize by returning chemicals to the soil. It is part of life: through death and decomposing, nature keeps wildlife going.
Why do we find large "pools" of fossil plants and animals but none of recent origin? Actually such concentrations are found today when natural disasters occur, but our minds remain on the disasters and forget the numerous dead. The volcanic eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD killed many people in the ancient Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii where we may still see some of their remains. Every flood kills and buries thousands of animals; a sudden flood entering a saltwater cover, or sheltered inlet, will bury and kill literally millions of seashore living things, perhaps not to be seen again until dug up as fossil during some distant millennium. T5) What may seem like a common occurrence in the fossil-filled rocks exposed to our eyes, is a series of scattered events from a past millions upon millions of years long.
We do come across the remains of plants and animals as we travel through our woods and fields. Some we are unable to see because what is left is covered by leaf-litter (the dead parts of trees which are an annual contribution from the productivity of the forests). Others escape our eyes because they are discolored by the processes of drying out, and the very odors of death are masked by the smells of new and different life. In the tropics, areas of constant warmth and moisture, the decomposers and scavengers work in greater numbers, more swiftly, and efficiently. The same processes are at work on both plants and animals in the seas as well as on the lands. Life recycles almost 100 percent of life; very rarely does a body, or a small part of a body, escape recycling for long. Even man's carefully buried past generations eventually are reached by the powers of decay — of life.
Do you want to know what happened to the past dead? Do you want to see death? Look around you at the beauties of nature, at the thousands of forms of plant and animal life wherever you may be. Look closely, because death is life; it is simply hard to see because of life.
